the tour de france unique atmosphere

L'Etape Czech Republic by Tour de France is a cycling sportive event that allows you to feel like a champion and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the legendary Tour de France. At the same time, it is a celebration, a holiday, a festival of cycling, for all small and big fans of the Grand Boucle.

1

Fully closed roads

For a few hours, the race route belongs to the cyclists only. From the first to the last rider. Safety, luxury and a feeling you can't get anywhere else.

2

Spectator atmosphere

We are not just organising a race, but a big celebration. Even the Tour de France is not just about the riders, it's about the landscape they ride through and the people who live there. And we try to draw them into the action, to come and create the best backdrop for the riders. And to show the kids that sport is a value worth striving for.

AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE ALONGSIDE CYCLING STARS

Ján Svorada, Martina Sáblíková, Zdeněk Štybar, Tomáš Bábek, Andy Schleck. These are the names that have stood at the start of the race in the past. Elbow to elbow, wheel to wheel with all the other participants.

Rovinatá etapa poprvé v Česku! A tentokrát míříme na východ. 💛 Po dvou letech na jihu Čech se druhá etapa přesouvá z Prachatic do úplně nové lokality - do Pardubic! A právě odtud 4. října 2026 poprvé Rovinatá L’Etape odstartuje! 👉 A teď to hlavní. Čeká tě jen jedna trasa: 110 km a pouhých 270 výškových metrů. Navíc se jede první říjnovou neděli, takže máš skvělou motivaci si prodloužit sezonu! Startovat se bude po vzoru Tour de France ve vlnách: 184 cyklistů ve vlně → 3 min rozestupy → maximální bezpečnost. Trasa tě provede ze Sukovy třídy v Pardubicích přes Dašice, Holice, Borohrádek, podél řeky Orlice s výhledy na Orlické hory, přes Albrechtice a Sezemice zpět do Pardubic. Bude to nádhera! Těšíš se? My rozhodně ano! 🇬🇧 The Flat Stage comes to the Czech Republic for the very first time! And this time, we’re heading east. 💛
After two years in South Bohemia, the second stage is moving from Prachatice to an entirely new location – Pardubice! And it’s from here that the Flat L’Etape will set off for the very first time on 4 October 2026!
 👉 And now the key part. There’s just one route waiting for you: 110 km with only 270 metres of elevation. Plus, it takes place on the first Sunday of October, giving you the perfect motivation to extend your season!
 The start will follow the Tour de France format with wave starts:
184 cyclists per wave → 3-minute intervals → maximum safety. 
The route will take you from Sukova Třída in Pardubice through Dašice, Holice, Borohrádek, along the River Orlice with views of the Orlické Mountains, then through Albrechtice and Sezemice back to Pardubice. It’s going to be beautiful! 
Are you excited? We certainly are!
